Plausible records any missing pages

First step: go to https://scratchaddons.com/hello_world Go to https://analytics.scratchaddons.com/scratchaddons.com?goal=404&period=realtime and see string displayed

Additionally, they still count as current. Are we not firing some event?

What's the issue?

First of all, anyone can put any string by navigating to that URL into the site, even explicit words. Secondly, it said that some of the URLs were currently navigated to, even when I closed the tab.

I actually didn't read this issue, but I saw the problem while looking the analytics. I have tried to solve this by excluding all pages on 404 page (this means that pages that results a 404 will have Plausible loaded with an exclusion of all pages)

Unfortunately, this didn't solve the issue, but I hope I found a nice solution in the future. That is, without excluding Plausible, for the sake of being able to record 404s.
